you're watching your washington area nissan dealers sports xtra. >> welcome back to nissan sports xtra. at 7-6 the skins now have a winning record for the first time since week one, something many didn't dream possible a month ago unless, of course, you're talking to left tackle trent williams. williams said last night that he dreamt the skins would win today, not sure if kirk cousins was part of that dream or if kirk cousins wanted to be a part of that dream frankly. cousins came into the lead, the team the final two plays of regulation connecting with pierre garcon. 29 seconds to go. going for the tie. they tuck and plunge in for the conversion, a huge moment for the backup to rise to the occasion and lead his team to an overtime eventual kai forbath winning field goal and the victory, kirk cousins, a perfect 2-2. >> still a challenge to come

out here after standing in the cold for three quarters and be ready to go, but fortunately i had 10 guys around me doing their job at a high level and it made my job much easier. >> kirk is a great quarterback. he's preparing very well. we have a lot of confidence in him. he has a strong arm, knows the playbook as well and knows the defense with the coaches and quarterbacks. he has a live arm. it's no real drop off. kirk just can't run as fast, but he reads defenses, sits in the pocket and throws. >> throughout the week griffin's knee will be monitored to see if he can get next sunday to visit the cleveland browns. our lindsay murphy with more on the play that hushed the crowd. >> reporter: the redskins' fourth win in a row now clouded by an injury to their star quarterback robert griffin, iii. he has said all along he would lay his body on the line if he needed to make a play. he did today. with less than two minutes left in the game skins down eight

and driving, griffin scrambles, picks up 13 yards before going down. the damage would come on the last hit, his right knee buckled and it looked worse than it was. x-rays and mri results came back negative. he has a sprained knee, but still a scary moment for the skins' star qb. >> i knew as soon as i got screamed like a man, of course, but i knew it hurt really bad, but like i said, it didn't feel like an acl or anything like that. larry and them came on the field. i told them just get me to the sideline and i'm come back in the next play. -- coming back in the next play. >> reporter: it was a gutsy effort that didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. >> when the guy does plays like that, those are statement plays. those are message plays. those are plays that says you know what, guys? i'm going to battle for you

regardless. >> his passion is love, his hunger to want to be out there speaks volumes. i'm thankful he's my quarterback. >> he came back in and threw two dimes, hobbled and that's just the kind of guy we've got, man. >> reporter: injury nothing new for this team. it's the next man up if robert cannot go against cleveland next weekend. that's kirk cousins. he was 2-2 for 26 yards, a touchdown and the game tying two-point conversion. from fedex field lindsay murphy, fox 5 news. coming up the giants with the skins on their heels strive to maintain their one-game lead in the nfc east with a home game against the saints. stay with us. if the politicians in washington negotiate a bad deal on the

budget and deficit, what do you think will happen to medicare and medicaid benefits? and to our coverage? cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from medicare and medicaid will short change the people who need it the most. so if you don't want seniors to come up empty. call sen. warner and tell him don't make a bad deal that cuts our care.
